Private legal practitioner and vice president of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, insists that the chief justice's removal is political.

Earlier this week, suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo described the process to remove her as political, indicating that she will never be forced to resign.

She explained that she is speaking up about the process to ensure that the ill process is not made to fester.

In a Facebook post reacting to the process of the removal, Kofi Bentil explained that the move is political and no serious person will doubt it.
